MAIN Travel Destinations Popular Madrid

Madrid is history, culture and modern amenities in a mix flavored by the food and people of this friendly city. The blue skies and cobblestoned courtyards are a feast for the eyes and the warmth of the city will win your heart.

A first stop on any visit would be to the world class Prado Museum, as well as a tour of the Palacio Real, official home of Spain's royal family.

Other must-sees include some of the best flamenco dance performances in the city at Cafe de Chinitas and - although not for the feint-hearted - a traditional bullfight at Las Ventas.
